A Cottage in the Forest - Olinda

Lovely Cottage for two surrounded by Forest

If you close your eyes and picture the quintessential hills cottage you would more than likely imagine Cottage in the Forest.

With a king size bed, a cosy living room with a log fire, a spa bath and a fully equipped kitchen Cottage in the Forest provides the perfect setting for your next intimate getaway.

Set on an acre of forested land, between the villages of Olinda and Sassafras, and surrounded by towering trees and the sweet sounds of the local birdlife, Cottage in the Forest will give you all the tranquility and privacy that you desire for an intimate mountain getaway.

In walking distance to Olinda Village and a short drive to Mt Dandenong and local attractions, Cottage in the Forest, is ideally located for exploring everything the Dandenongs has to offer. And although only less than hour from Melbourne the world will feel a million miles away.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with a review Annette. We love that you did this and I would especially like to know what else would have helped make this a 5 star for comfort if you have a moment. We hope you will return to us before too long. Best wishes, Peta

Was a beautiful a location only a very short distance from the township. Was so easy to go out and get anything we needed or go out for dinner. Despite this it felt like we were in a world of our own.

Sassafras VIC, Australia

Sassafras, Olinda and Mt Dandenong are the 3 beautiful and ecclectic villages in the Dandenongs.

There are 5 Public Gardens, thousands of acres of national parks, cafes, 1000 steps to climb if you wish.

Or, maybe you'll just choose to lounge about and enjoy a massage, a little gentle exploring of shops .There's as much or as little to do as you wish.

Feeling energetic? A walk to Olinda or Sherbrooke Falls through the forest, or a drive to the Yarra Valley wonderful wineries will be a beautiful day out. You will, however, come running home to curl up by the fire in the winter!

Coffee at Ripe in Sassafras. Great hot breakfast for you at Fat Badger or Ripe. Traditional English tearoom at Miss Marples, but the highlight is a High Tea at Fortnums in Sassafras.

We love The Piggery Cafe at Burnham Beeches in Sherbrooke, Coonara Springs Restaurant in Olinda or Dudleys in Olinda for the best pizza and casual dining.
